Dim Sum Restaurants near Pleasanton, CA

“This restaurant has integrity. Staff made a mistake (they are human after all), they quickly acknowledged, apologized and took action to correct the mistake. I am one happy customer.

Oh, food is amazing too. Store is usually busy so come early.“

“Online ordering here was a breeze. Unlike other places where I feel pressured to order more or lack the convenience of online options, this spot made getting dim sum straightforward.

Food: The dim sum was warm and steamy, and the quality was solid. My only gripe was the limited menu—no shrimp rice rolls or fried shrimp crescents, which are some of my favorites. If you’re happy with staples like Shiu Mai or Har Gow, you’ll enjoy it.

Service: No issues. I picked up my order by name, and that was it.

Atmosphere: The setting is simple and casual, with a cafeteria-like vibe. It’s good for a laid-back meal but not for anything formal.

Overall: It’s a decent spot with a smaller menu. Two orders of dim sum were enough to satisfy me, and I’d come back if I was in the mood for a quick and easy dim sum fix.

Parking: There was so much parking here on a weekend morning.“

“Definitely make reservations or you’ll be waiting for a table. We came here for Fathers Day and I’m so glad we did. The service is very friendly and the food is excellent. Came here with a group of 8 and had a lovely meal. Shumai is especially large portion. Recommend Hong Kong noodles too“

“You know it’s good when there’s little to no decor, the restaurant doubles as storage, and there’s lockers in the bathroom. ✅✅✅

My Shanghainese dad and grandparents love this place, and it’s great for soup noodles. Feeling kinda sick? Buy a soup noodle from here.

My go-to is the special eel noodle soup and the preserved veg and pork noodle soup. Also, the Shanghai style rice cake is basically a rice hash brown.

This place is easy to miss since their sign is small.

Just try it.“

“88 Bao Bao in Pleasanton is a standout for authentic eats—one of the best I’ve come across in my travels. The food is fresh, hot, and fairly priced, with a menu worth exploring. Friendly, attentive service adds to the experience. If you’re hungry, come ready to try it all. Wish this place existed nationwide!“

“Wow! Ok, it was a little expensive, but TOTALLY WORTH it. Dim sum all day! Their Dim Sum menu was so nice that I didn't want to write on it 😁 Food was amazing! Nice BIG pieces. Delicious. Perfect. Service was attentive. Private restrooms, not stalls - and very clean. They were using just one hall at lunch but they looks like they have seating for very large parties. Check out the pictures I took.“

“My daughter came home for vacation and she wanted to have dimsum at our favorite place Saigon Harbor Seafood in Newark, but it's closed indefinitely. We wanted to try a new place and we found this one on Yelp. It's in the place of a Korean restaurant years ago when the kids were little. It's a very small restaurant, the parking is limited in a small shopping center, but on SAT it wasn't crowded so we found a parking spot.
It's small, clean, but not airy as the big restaurant. My daughter using the iPhone App and the food came out quite quickly. This is a family owned restaurant so the mom serves for everyone, quite effective.
We ordered the usual, xiu mai, beef rice crepe, chicken feet, beancurd wrapped, soup dumplings, fried gyoza, some tripes that my daughter likes. There's no meatballs that my son likes.
The chicken feet are up to par with others, very tasty and cooked perfectly. The beef rice crepes are good and soft, the beancurd wrapped has too much cornstarch, sauce is too thick although the taste is there, didn't look good. The soup dumplings are bland, not very delicious as other restaurants. The tripes are good. My son ate all the fried Gyoza and he said it's OK. The xiu mai wasn't full flavored and not fresh.
I'm not sure if this is a cantonese restaurant or mandarin. It seems like a mixed one. To me the Cantonese restaurant has the best dim sum. Mandarin or chinese mainland has the best soup dumplings.
Anyhow, it's OK for me, but the kids didn't like it much.
The prices are very reasonable.“

“Ok, if you have never had amazing mapo tofu or laziji (fried chicken pieces in dried chilis), two of my favorite Sichuan cuisine dishes, you HAVE to order these two dishes from this place, plus a bowl of rice. Phenomenal flavor, they hit it spot on with the best that we have had in Beijing, the only other place that can compare is Tasty Szechuan in Hayward, so of course we are happy there is a closer place to us in Dublin. Need to have it made spicy, or the tofu lacks the right flavor. The pain is worth the flavor! Their green onion pancakes are not good, but their gan bian sijidou (stir fried green beans) are super good, as well as their eggplant dish (if you like a slightly sweet flavor). Just thinking about those 2 dishes gets me salivating! Oh and then if you want the best milk tea, get it from nearby Feng Cha - regular black tea mill tea, don’t add any toppings, no ice, 75% sweetness (or 50% if you like it with just a touch of sweetness), sooo good, better than most places we tried in Taiwan. For $6, so much more worth it than all the mediocre ice cream places I have tried around here (still have not found an amazing local creamery). Enjoy!“

“Very good food and very nice waitress and waiters👍👍👍“

“Today, I had the pleasure of visiting this takeout-only restaurant for the first time. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by two ladies with warmth and hospitality. We didn’t know what to order at first, and they didn’t make us feel rushed at all. In fact, they were very kind and attentive. They even offered us a free sample of one of their specialties. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers. And their food truly tastes like something from your favorite aunties kitchen!!

My boyfriend was a regular here before we started dating, but four years later, it was my first time going with him! It’s truly a gem. They pack the food to the brim, and it's enough to feed us for about four meals tbh. We got two lunch plates with Vegetarian Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Sesame Chicken (perfect chicken to breading ratio, and the sauce is addicting), Tofu and Eggplant (sooo flavorful), Roast Duck (my boyfriend's favorite) and cabbage, and an ice cold soda! They even added forks and napkins which a lot of other places forget to do.

If you’re looking for a lunch place that will satisfy both your appetite and your eyes, don’t hesitate to go here. The portions are generous, the flavors are authentic, and the service is nothing short of wonderful.

Food 5/5, Service 5/5, Portions 10/5“

“I love going to this restaurant during my lifetime. Dim sum is really good and fresh. My sister and our relatives bought home food and usually they get eaten in a day or two. Goes to show how good the food is.

I should plan to go to that restaurant to dine in and review its atmosphere. It’s been years since having to dine there, but I want to see if there are any changes at the inside.“

“I was searching for a dim sum place and this restaurant’s name came up with decent reviews. I went there but found out that they no longer serve dim sum, only the regular Chinese food menu. We ended up ordered congee and lobster noodles and those were quite good.“

“Very good food and very nice waitress and waiters👍👍👍“

“Here's the review with the added information:
"Great take out place for roasted duck and pork. My fav is duck roasted plate which came with rice and steamed cabbage. Loved the duck flavor. It's in the lions supermarket complex, just outside the supermarket. Not recommended for dining-in. It's a quick grab the food and take away."“
